This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth (kai autous dia logou apaggellontas ta auta). Literally, “they themselves also by speech announcing the same things.” The present participle, as here, sometimes is used like the future to express purpose as in Act 3:26 eulogounta after apesteilen and so here apaggellontas after apestalkamen (Robertson, Grammar, p. 1128). Judas and Silas are specifically endorsed (perfect active indicative of apostellō) as bearers of the epistle who will also verbally confirm the contents of the letter.
